Helping You Decide On Your Prom Hairstyles

Teenagers usually face several different feelings when prom time starts getting closer. Girls worry if someone will ask them and boys worry if the girl they ask will say yes. Once it has been decided that you are going, a girl will start to focus on finding the perfect prom dress and prom shoes, as well as makeup choices and checking out dozens of different prom hairstyles for their special night.

One nice thing about hairstyles is that along with the more traditional up-dos are new ones that are constantly being created as well. You should experiment with many different styles, some that you have tried before and perhaps some that you have always wanted to try but have never had an occasion to go all out. Remember that formal prom gowns and short prom dresses will likely call for very different hairstyles, so don’t decide on your hairdo until you have the dress. If you can’t afford to have your hair coiffed professionally, then look online and in magazines for ideas and try to get someone to help you do your hair. You can always add a ribbon to your hair that is the same color as your dress.

You can create some unique prom hairstyles from a ponytail by separating it into two strands and then twisting each into random knots that you can secure to the back using crystal or beaded bobby pins. Or, pull your hair into a high ponytail and then pull down random strands of hair, perhaps slightly curling them first. Any of the ponytail styles look softer when you pull out little wisps of hair in random places, but especially around the face.

Try putting your hair into a ponytail that starts at the midsection of your head and use ribbon that matches your prom gown to weave a crisscross effect into your hair. If you decide to wear your hair in a ponytail, then use large curlers in your hair to create curl and bounce and perhaps finish it with a shine spray. For a no fuss party do, simply pull hair into two equal pony tails, either high or low, and then knot the two sections together. Use bobby pins to secure or to hide any stray hairs you don’t want. Don’t forget that weaving flowers, real or silk, into your hair is a great way to enhance the style with a great feminine touch.

Don’t feel left out of great prom hairstyles just because your hair is short. One very trendy look is hair stencils and they actually look better on shorter hair. You can choose one that is already made or design your own for a look that you know will be completely unique. This is something that you can do by yourself, but it is usually a little easier with help. Once you have decided on the design you can choose a color that matches your prom gown or simply use a gold or silver glitter spray.

Insider Tips When Doing Your Prom Dress Shopping

One of the most important events for teenagers is their high school prom. To them it equates to walking on the red carpet, modeling on a fashion runway or being at the Oscar’s. Since a prom dress is the main “must have” for the girls, they normally start shopping around fairly early for the perfect one, which usually includes trying on countless prom gowns, checking every store in the mall and in the town and maybe even getting ideas from the internet before making their decision.

Be sure to keep your own personal style in mind when shopping for your prom dress and don’t be swayed by anyone unless you actually think they are right. Of utmost importance is to make sure it fits properly. You may fall in love with a dress that is one size too small, yet buying a dress that doesn’t fit is a bad decision, especially with regard to comfort. Black seems to be the color of choice for prom dresses but you are by no means limited to that one color. You are free to choose whatever color suits you best. There are many different designs and styles available, such as the long formal prom gowns or short prom dresses. You can pick and choose separates.

There are other ways that you can take a basic prom gown and turn it into something that is truly you. You can add stunning details that will make your dress stand out, such as adding a sash with a splash of print or an extra long scarf in a contrasting color that you can toss over both shoulders in a mock train style. As well, don’t forget to consider your prom shoes, makeup, hairdo and jewelry.

Of course, the right accessories can turn your prom dress into something even more stunning. For instance, if you have chosen a long formal gown, then why not add an elegant pair of long gloves that match your dress. Or, if you have opted for a shorter dress in a bright color, such as apple red, then consider slipping on a pair of banana yellow gloves for a great fun and youthful effect. Other bright colors that work well together are yellow and watermelon, lime green with tangerine and raspberry with lemon yellow. The great thing about being a trend setter is watching everyone else copy your ideas!
